Hoi aku la o Halaaniani a kamailio aku i kona kaikuahine, 1 mai la 
kona kaikuahine, “ Loaa ole ae la ia kaua i ka pu la-i, i kuu hano aku

Hoi aku la laua ma ko laua wahi, a ma kekahi kakahiaka ae, hiki

Ta laua nei a hiki iho, hiki ana no o Laielohelohe ma kona wahi mau. 
Mamua nae o ko Jaua hiki ana aku, ua hai mua aku o Malioi kana

“ F haku oe i Jehua, e huihui a lilo i mea hookahi, aia lohe oe i kuu 
hookani aku i ka hano, oia kou wa e hookuu iho aii kela popo lehua 
iluna pono ona, malia o hoohuoi kela ia mea.”

mea nana keia hano, alaila, e honi no kaua.”
